Something like opennmt translations implemented as a feature on a social media site like d* might be an additional function to consider.

I ran several database optimisations yesterday and updated php, but obviously I still have the extreme load peaks every now and then. Still have to look into this. I was suspecting some broken index, but the database repair scripts didn't find any problems.

Not at all, it was just a suggestion to optimize a SQL query that hurts the server.If I wanted Hubzilla to be like the others, I'd be at the others'.But if Hubzilla's idea is to absolutely want to do different then I should probably be somewhere else, yes.

Searching for tags is actually pretty efficient. Searching for tags and then also looking to see if they were inside some quoted text is less efficient. It's also excluding valid search results. One could easily argue that the hashtag is present in all three posts and it's a bug to display some of those in search results but not all of them. A different site might not have received the original post before it was reshared. Shouldn't those site members be able to also find the #hashtag?

As I said that was just a suggestion and I don't know how Hubzilla is structured so I'm willing to believe that my idea isn't adaptedFor the rest, it's not my project and I'm not a decision-maker, my opinion would come to naught.

I'm not sure what the issues are at gerzilla but I'm not convinced tag queries by themselves are the source of the problem. There is probably some effect based on 'site-wide' searches (from the navbar as opposed to the network stream). We've had to change a lot of those queries in te last few months to make them compatible with postgres and mysql "strict mode" and they may no longer be as efficient as they used to be.

@xSquid (Hubzilla) Yes there were again gigantic loads on the server, so even my changes couldn't cover that. currently the polling is switched off to see if here is the problem. It seems to happen every 1/2 h. May be I also will switch off the pub stream if that is causing to much load on the database.

My experience with hubzilla.nl is that you need to make sure your mysql config had these variables correctly set:

tmpdir = /dev/shm

Will make sure temporary files are written to memory. /dev/shm is already there on Debian (and Ubuntu and such).

If your tables use InnoDB (what is since a while the Hubzilla default):

innodb_file_per_table = 1innodb_file_format = Barracudainnodb_log_file_size = 640M <<<< Depends on the next variable. innodb_buffer_pool_size = 6G <<<< This depends on your database size. Actually mine is 12GB, but half of that worked fine. Even 5GB was OK, although it needs some time to get on speed after a DB restart.

There are more smaller things, but these are the most important that deal with memory

The links you're referring to in the post aren't actually the permalink. They are a link to a "local copy" of the post (i.e. on your server). The permalink is the original source displayed at the source location (in the Hubzilla case shown in the original channel's context and theme).

It's available to the conversation templates but only displayed currently in the search_item template afaik. What you're looking for is item.llink (as opposed to item.plink). I'm not sure how you wish to proceed, but I'll mention that you'll probably get some pushback displaying both links because some people will get totally confused. So maybe a plugin or personal config option or custom theme template would be the best vehicle for accomplishing the desired objective.

You can discuss with Mario about where to put the link. Obviously I'm a failure at user interface design because I see no obvious correlation between 'post time' and a 'url'. But it seems other people do and if they want to find a link the first thing they think of is to click '2 hours ago'.

I think this link should only be provided when you are using Hubzilla as a "federated social network", because most other federation projects don't let you comment or like things from your friends' sites (which is where you end up if you follow the permalink). Hubzilla does allow you to comment from your friends' pages, so we don't really need or want this superfluous link. It's just something else to confuse people with.

What I'm wondering about is if you're interacting with Diaspora folks why you can't just comment/like/whatever from the network (activity) page? The entire conversation (everything that would be shown on the local link page) is right in front of you. What is it about the local link that's special and the reason why you need to use it specifically? I'm just trying to understand...

I don't know who Mario is :)I browse my network stream, open in other tabs the posts with which I want to interact. I can comment, like/dislike when I want: immediately or later...This is a classic user behavior.A message from a friend yesterday about posts and tabs (not the same cause), she's not a power user:

@xSquid (Hubzilla) since you changed account, impossible to open your posts in a new tab, error 404, it's really painful... a bug somewhere...

When I like/comment/whatever with a post, there is a sort of "refresh" and the page jumps to another place (shifts)...It's annoying.When gerzilla.de is down, I have to browse the feed again to get to the post. When the post is in a tab, I simply refresh the tab.When I want to share something with my family/friends/community/whoever, for a reshared post I'd like to give a link from my channel, not from other people's channel. Like this they can see where am I, what social network I use and eventually come and join me.

NB: Since I use Hubzilla (social federation), the only point I find negative is its chonophagous navigation.

Obviously I'm a failure at user interface design because I see no obvious correlation between 'post time' and a 'url'. But it seems other people do and if they want to find a link the first thing they think of is to click '2 hours ago'.

Yeah, I think, with social networks, it's no longer a question of ergonomics but a question of "convention".Most of the federation's social networks doMindsVKontakteFacebookTwitter

But honestly, for me the important thing is not where it is placed (as long as you don't have to click 15 times) but does it exist.I mean, there's no problem for me changing conventions ;)

FYI if you change your view to blog/list mode in settings > display settings > Use blog/list mode on grid page, the button to view the comments will bring you to the local sibgle thread view. Is it maybe that what you are looking for?

Comments are one of the reasons for my selection of posts to open in a tab.With the "blog" view, I have to open all posts in another tab to be able to read comments.It's contradictory to what I'm looking for.

503 Service Temporarily UnavailableThe server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.Web Server at gerzilla.de

Too bad for nomadic identity, clones and Hubzilla interface, I'm going back to Friendica.Being able to access my channel, post photos/videos/music, sort messages quickly and easily and a good interactivity with Diaspora* are, for me, priorities.

@xSquid a subdomain at freedns.afraid.org is free and a Raspberry or mini-PC plugged in to your home router does not cost a fortune. Why not selfhosting your channel? Not an answer to your question but an interesting option for you?

@Einer von VielenSeveral reasons:I am against the principle of one user/one server.I'm no longer a sysadmin...for too many years.I don't have an internet link at home, I share one with my neighbours.Lack of time

Did this happen after you have tried to do something? Or was it already down? Sad to read that your are frustrated, but as the server isn't generally slow but just at certain times, some processes must trigger this. Unfortunately I have to work and can't look at this 24/7

- I don't understand why that first point? why can't we use clone and digital identity?

- otherwise for the point 2 it is necessary quite simply to responsibility the users... and this centralization or not, and not to make believe that the disk space and the resources systems in general are free. For my part for example I use very little data on instances: I delete my history as I go and I upload very few files (I prefer to integrate them from an external source). In short, it is more a problem of uses than of tools.

I add my point of view concerning adding a link (why not at the date hour of the post like in other network) would be nice. I always find hard to share a post from hubzilla on other place than hubzilla. It is hard to find that link. That could be an improvement.

Oherwise I am happy that I am not the only one who see that Hubzilla database needs lot of ressources. I don't know if someone could think about minimize that. I notice that image use the most. I the past I did test and you don't do anything and photos is loading automaticaly for nothing. It was not my photos but just photos of the network. I am dreaming a light hubzilla like pleroma is a light mastodon. but I am a dreamer.

Yes hubzilla is a very good idea and theoriticaly is a nomadic identity but if you use it really like @xsquid you can quicky face real problems. If you are not self hosted you try to find a hub and it is not easy to find it. There is no tools that helps you excep reading json file manualy hub by hub.

I searched for a new social network because Diaspora is dying: development is stagnating (developer shortage)...After a period using Friendica, I arrived at Hubzilla for several reasons.- Decentralization, nomadic identity and clones; -> I was expecting a lot ;)- The blog/social network mix and and quality of the GUI.

If you are not self hosted you try to find a hub and it is not easy to find it. There is no tools that helps you excep reading json file manualy hub by hub.

Yes this is my story ;)I checked each hub for the std_embeds plugin and the files synchronization /hzfiles.EDIT: adding clone, file synchronization and country* in the public hub list would be a good thing.*seldom filled, however it is important for the choice of a clone hub.

I see another solution than self-hostingI am an active member of G3L (CAHTONS), there is a good chance that a hub will be installed in September on our servers.-> We'll may be looking for a partnership with another non-profit association to cross the clones of our members. This could be a solution, we need to debate it.

I always find hard to share a post from hubzilla on other place than hubzilla. It is hard to find that link.

We already have a Diaspora pod and a Mastodon instance.When I tell our members that we have hubzilla, they will ask me:- Member: Okay, what's better with this one?- Me: Yeah bro', Nomadic Identity and Clones!- Member: All right, let me try! Hey where's the link to open the post in a tab? How I can share it if I can't find it?- Me: Well, don't you want to hear the story of identity and clones first?- Member: No please, tell me how to do!- Me: ...

I'm pretty sure this "fiction" will be close to reality. For that kind of detail, they won't go any further.

What exists today is the permalink and the ability to share posts. Both are provided in the gear menu. This is all that most of us have ever needed or desired. The local link is not permanent and will be expired on most sites after a period of time. That isn't the kind of link I usually want to share with people for that reason. If you require this, I've already suggested several ways to accomplish it. It will require somebody to edit the code and implement this functionality and submit a merge request. I had no intention of arguing about your request to have this feature, only to understand your needs and why they weren't met by our existing mechanisms. You've explained this very well and I understand, so thank you.

The software also has a completely different purpose than Friendica or Diaspora, which are designed for the primary purpose of creating a decentralised social network. Hubzilla was designed for a different purpose - for people to build small communities and link them together (or not, as desired). For this reason we don't have a lot of tools to compare hubs because it was always our intention people would be joining communities with people they knew and which had a known set of features and not large "public hubs". For those who come here specifically looking at only the social network and federation aspects of the software (as end users rather than community builders) there should definitely be some effort to offer people a way to choose the right public hub with the features they need. Again, we haven't invested a lot of time doing this because it isn't something the project is focused on. But we're pretty easy about letting folks help fill in and build those peripheral needs.

I think that's what troubles me, it's advertised as being able to do it (social federation role), but it doesn't really or completely do it because it's not really its raison d'être, so the hubzilla does it its way.But I get it now, thank you for your explaination. I'll take some time to think if I'm in the right place.

Yes, a social network is not an archiving system and the idea is not to use the local link as such.By sharing it, I meant by mail/pm/sms/chat or in another post. It's ephemeral.

If you require this, I've already suggested several ways to accomplish it. It will require somebody to edit the code and implement this functionality and submit a merge request.

I'll create an issue on GitLab and see if anyone is interested in implementing it.

I understand the need for a link to the local copy. I have copy/pasted the message ID into another open window to have that now and then. For example when I want to recall a post or comment that I want to edit, or for which the source server has a badly readable template, or is offline/slow. And yes, I do regret it, but it the standard mostly everywhere that the timestamp links to a view of the post alone and even I have gotten used to that and come to expect it. Is there a bug for this already? I might give it some time later this month.
